I second what @GoatMama said. I have a child at BS on substantial FA and if we had it to do over again we would apply to more schools. In my mind there is no such thing as “too wide” of a net. That being said I wholeheartedly agree that applications should only be made to schools where the student and the parent(s) would accept an offer of admission. Don’t let your child apply to a school you won’t send them to - sets you up for the terrible situation where they come to you excited about their acceptance and then you have to tell them you won’t let them go there.
